Chapter 345: "Old Grandpa"
Looking at the pink unidentified metal in the hands of the ancient man Siris, Liu Xing realized that this pink unknown metal was very likely to be some kind of high-tech product made by the ancient man... Although the ancients were very fond of cave dwelling and liked to engage in farming and animal husbandry, the technology of the ancients was still very advanced, after all, the ancients were able to build large cities deep under the sea, engage in genetic engineering to create new creatures, and in the early days of the war, they were also able to fight with the Star Clan, the Iss.
"This is my soul box, as the name suggests, this soul box can store my soul, that is, consciousness, because my body was damaged in the battle with the Star Family, so I had to put my consciousness in this soul box, waiting for my people to bring me back to the Old World, and create a new body for me to resurrect." Cialis said with a smile.
Liu Xing nodded, understanding that the old continent in Ciris's mouth should refer to the Antarctic continent, because the main reason for the battle between the ancients and the Star Clan was to compete for a new continent that had emerged due to the movement of the earth's crust, that is, the continent where Lalaye would be located in the future.
However, the "soul box" in the mouth of the ancients makes Liu Xing even more noteworthy, and this setting is similar to the artifact rings with grandfathers that often appeared in some fantasy that Liu Xing had seen in the real world before.
Of course, Liu Xing felt that this soul box should be made by the ancients by borrowing the soul transfer ability of the Isis people, because the Isis people can transfer their souls to other creatures, so that they can live forever, and this soul box can also preserve the consciousness of the ancients, so that the ancients have the opportunity to be resurrected in another body.
However, in this way, Liu Xing is almost certain that the underground ruins of Fisherman's Village should have been built by the ancients, but after the ancients were defeated by the Star Clan, they were temporarily abandoned, and then they were occupied by an ancient tribe, otherwise this soul box would not have remained here.
"By the way, friend, I have a question for you, how is our battle with the Star Clan now? Since you were able to use your consciousness to enter my soul box, it means that the Star Clan that originally attacked this place should have been repulsed. Siris asked curiously.
Liu Xing frowned, Ciris's question was a bit tricky.
After all, although Liu Xing himself knew that the ancients had been suppressed to the depths of the sea by other mythical creatures, and he was trembling and didn't dare to go out, but "Watanabe Meteor" didn't know these things.
Therefore, Liu Xing is now a little entangled, how should he answer Siris.
As far as the current situation is concerned, Liu Xing can roughly say two things about Siris.
The first theory is that combined with the currently known information, "Watanabe Meteor" can still "speculate" that the ancients have been completely defeated, and may even have been "exterminated", by the way, tell Sirius about the current situation on the earth.
The second theory is that he chose to deceive Siris, or to use the Spring and Autumn brushwork to mislead Siris, telling him that the Celestial Clan of Siris is no longer active on Earth, but the Ancients are also in a state of recuperation due to the heavy losses in the previous battle.
The first theory is that Liu Xing is worried that Siris may not be able to withstand this blow, after all, now Liu Xing doesn't need to pass any judgment to know that Siris is still full of expectations that his race can defeat the Star Dependents, and then "resurrect" himself in the soul box, and Liu Xing himself is still staying in Siris's soul box, in case Siris falls into a state of rampage because he learns the truth, then he will be unlucky.
And the second statement, that is naturally a kind of white lie, although there are some deliberately guided elements, but what Liu Xing said is the truth, which should be able to make Siris emotionally stable... Of course, Liu Xing felt that the possibility of Siris discovering his lie could not be ruled out...
After struggling for a while, Liu Xing finally decided to use the first statement.
After all, a long pain is better than a short pain, even if you can deceive for a while, you can't deceive a lifetime, in order to avoid Siris from discovering that he was lying in the future, Liu Xing felt that he was better telling the truth,
So, Liu Xing shook his head, sighed and said: "Siris, I hope you can be mentally prepared, in fact, your race is very likely to have been defeated, because the current time has passed tens of thousands of years since your race fought against the Star Dependents, or even longer, and you should have seen it by now, I look different from any race you know, because my race was born after you finally fought with the Star Dependents, and before that, I didn't even know your race existed. ”
Liu Xing's words made Siris fall silent.
However, Liu Xing is also thinking about a question now, that is, why is Cialis so enthusiastic about himself, after all, he and Cialis are not of the same race, and there is almost no communication between the two races of humans and the ancients, because the ancients have completely lived in seclusion in the deep sea before the birth of humans, and although humans have now flown into space, there is still no way for humans to completely go to the bottom of the sea.
Therefore, according to the setting of the Cthulhu Mythos, human beings have only determined the existence of the ancient race through the ruins of the ancient ones found in Antarctica.
Therefore, Liu Xing felt that his relationship with Siris was at most a stranger who had never been masked, and he was still a stranger who suddenly broke into Siris's "house", so why was Sirius so enthusiastic about him, and he also called himself a friend.
After a while, Siris finally came back to his senses and asked, "Well, in this way, I have been dormant in the soul box for a long time, it seems that this world has changed drastically, if you can, I hope Liu Xing can explain the current world to me, okay?" ”
Such a polite Siris made Liu Xing unable to refuse, so Liu Xing nodded and said seriously: "To make it clear in advance, I don't know about the battle between your race and the Star Clan, because that period of time is too long, and my race may not have appeared at that time, so I can only tell some of the history left by my race now." ”
"First of all, my race is called human, because the scientists of my race have not completely determined the specific origin of our race, so I can only say that my race officially evolved into what I am now, hundreds of thousands of years ago, and there were many other races of creatures on the earth at that time, but the creatures of those races did not develop enough intelligence, so in the end, my race officially ruled most of the continents of the earth thousands of years ago."
Hearing this, Siris couldn't help but interrupt Liu Xing's words, "Most of the continents, including the old continent and the new continent in my mouth?" ”
As he spoke, Siris projected a global map of the globe where it was located, and on this map the continent of Antarctica and the continent of Lalaye appeared.
Liu Xing pretended to study the map seriously, and then pointed to the Antarctic continent and said: "On the earth now, this continent still exists, we call this continent the Antarctic continent, because it is covered by heavy snow all year round, so except for a few scientists who will conduct scientific research on the Antarctic continent, others will hardly set foot on the Antarctic continent, as for the other continent, it no longer exists, or it may have sunk in the ocean." ”
Siris frowned... If that's a frown, he said: "What, has the old continent been covered by ice and snow, the central city established by my race back then was in the old continent, and my race is still quite afraid of the cold, so I can believe what my friend said now, my race is likely to have been defeated, but fortunately, the group of guys from the Star Clan is more unlucky than us, and the new continent where we are located is gone." ”
Liu Xing smiled and nodded, but he was complaining in his heart, Ciris, you are really old enough, your memory has degenerated, but the Star Clan can survive in the sea and land like your ancients, even if the new world where Lalaye is located sinks to the bottom of the sea, it is not good news.
After complaining in his heart, Liu Xing continued: "During the period when we humans ruled the earth, although there were occasionally some strange creatures, uh, like the image of Siris, but these creatures were basically glimpses, and they had little impact on the historical process of our human race... Or that the impact is on a deeper level, and it is not known to ordinary people like me. ”
"Of course, for some reason, I've seen and dealt with a lot of so-called mythical creatures, and I've learned that some humans have established a cult of these mythical creatures, and most importantly, now I'm at odds with a secret church that believes in the Deep Diver, uh, the Deep Diver is a monster with a fish's head and a human body."
Liu Xing said as he observed Cialis's demeanor, and the reason why Liu Xing mentioned the Deep Sea Gospel Society and the Deep Diver was naturally to hope that Siris could help him, after all, the Deep Diver was also one of the sworn enemies of the ancients.
Sure enough, when Liu Xing mentioned the deep divers, Siris couldn't help but speak up again: "What, do the deep divers still exist now, these guys are my mortal enemies, if it weren't for the support of these deep divers, the Star Clan that attacked here back then would definitely not be able to attack here." ”
Hearing Siris say this, Liu Xing knew that this wave had stabilized.
So, Liu Xing continued to add fuel and vinegar and said: "What, has the deep diver been around for so long, I have seen a deep diver with my own eyes a long time ago, if I hadn't been prepared, I might have been killed by that deep diver, but fortunately, I successfully killed it in the end." ”
The deep diver in Liu Xing's mouth naturally refers to Mo Jin, although "Watanabe Meteor" also knows that Mo Jin's character card is just a deep diver hybrid who has not been fully transformed, but Liu Xing still selectively ignores this point and classifies Mo Jin's character card as a deep diver.
"I see, sure enough, I was not mistaken, we are comrades-in-arms on the same front." Siris looked at Liu Xing with a look of relief, although this expression was a little infiltrating in Liu Xing's opinion...
But when he got here, Liu Xing finally couldn't help it, and asked, "Uh, Siris, although I think we have indeed become friends now, we should have completely unknown each other before, so why did you let me enter your soul box?" ”
Siris smiled, pointed at Liu Xing and said, "I can feel that you have the mark of that adult. ”
Liu Xing suddenly realized that the adult in Cialis's mouth was naturally referring to Hasta, the king of yellow clothes.
And Hasta, the king of yellow, as Cthulhu's sworn enemy, is naturally likely to choose to help Cthulhu's opponent, the ancient.
I see.
Liu Xing finally understood why he had entered the soul box of Siris.
But this is also a good thing, after all, as far as the current situation is concerned, Sirius should be regarded as his own person, and he should be able to seek some help from Siris, although Siris is still in ideology, but Liu Xing believes that Silis's knowledge is still very useful.
Thinking of this, Liu Xing suddenly felt that he was a bit like the protagonist of a certain point, because Sirius was similar to the "old grandfather" in a sense...
After determining the relationship between "comrades-in-arms", Liu Xing also relaxed and began to ask Siris an important question, "Siris, is there a bronze gate connected to the fantasy realm where you were stationed back then?" ”
Liu Xing wanted to determine if Siris was a "local", and if Siris had been brought to Fisherman's Village from somewhere else, there was nothing to say about it now.
Siris nodded, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you to know about the Fantasy Dream, that's right, there is indeed a bronze gate connected to the Fantasy Realm where I was stationed back then, and behind that bronze gate is an unknown grassland in the Fantasy Realm, so it can be regarded as an escape route, but at that time, because my compatriots and I were in a confrontation with the Star Clan at the beginning, I didn't expect the Deep Diver to suddenly attack our rear, causing us to be defeated in a very short time, We didn't have time to make our way through the bronze gate to the Dream Realm, and then return to our capital through another dimensional gate in the Dream Realm. ”
Liu Xing nodded, and now he can be sure that the underground ruins of Fisherman's Village can actually be traced back to the period of the Ancients.
So, will Siris leave something behind in the underground ruins of Fisherman's Village?
